[horde] Javascript / Frontend refactoring: Tester wanted

[Ruud Baart]

Ralf,

The changes you've made bring a number of improvements:

  * Kronolith: The calendars on the left are displayed immediately.
  * Kronolith: A new appointment can be created
  * IMP: A new email can be sent, including in HTML

I’m still running into a few issues:

  * I can’t edit an appointment. The only option is to move the
    appointment by dragging it. I don’t have any other options.
    Double-clicking doesn’t open the appointment edit screen.
  * For the attendee, the system searches for free/busy indefinitely.

I can’t get much further than that right now.

Another question concerns the CALDAV feature. You mentioned that the 
issue I raised earlier was complex and not easily resolved. Could you 
let me know if there has been any progress on that front? This issue is 
actually preventing my small group from implementing the current version.
